It describes employment law as complex, involving overlapping state and federal requirements that govern the relationship between an employer and employee, and says problems may arise at the beginning or the end of employment, or any time in between, that require an attorney to "navigate, negotiate, or even litigate employment issues." The employment matters published on that page are grouped as: Wages and Compliance, advising employers on employee termination, wage and hour, and compliance issues; Employee Agreements, negotiating and drafting employment, independent contractor, and severance agreements; Policies, developing workplace policies; Handbooks, drafting and implementing employee handbooks; Non-Compete, negotiating and drafting noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements; and Discrimination and Harassment, investigating claims of discrimination and harassment. The Business Services page adds that the employment law practice helps businesses "navigate the intersection of state and federal employment laws — whether it is making sure required policies are in place, advising with respect to severance and termination agreements, or handling workplace investigations or EEOC claims." The employment law practice team named on the page is Margaret L. Behm, Maddin M. Nelson, Tyler Chance Yarbro and Candi Henry. The site publishes no rates, fees, hourly price or cost estimate for employment matters and states no deadlines for any individual situation. The firm's phone is 615-254-2291 and general inquiries go to info@dodsonparker.com.

Matters listed are business disputes, trust and estate litigation, contract disputes, criminal law, intellectual property litigation, employment litigation, and insurance coverage disputes, handled in state and federal courts and before government agencies. The Appeals and Trial Support page states the firm accepts cases from across the entire state of Tennessee and serves as consultants and counsel in other states as well as federal court, that it frequently works with other lawyers on pending or anticipated appeals and complex summary judgment matters, and that it "handled hundreds of appeals." It says the firm's attorneys have clerked for judges at the state and federal level, have been published in the Tennessee Bar Journal, the Nashville Bar Journal and Belmont Law Review, and have presented at seminars including the Tennessee Bar Association's Supreme Court Bootcamp and the Nashville Bar Association's Appellate Practice Seminar. The page also lists specific reported cases the firm has handled. Past reported matters are the firm's own case history and say nothing about how any new matter would turn out. No outcome, timeline, or chance of success can be inferred from them. The site publishes no price, cost, rates or fees for litigation or appellate work and no consultation cost.

It says planning needs are sometimes simple and sometimes more complex, for example where a client owns a business or family land or wants to leave particular gifts to a church or university, and that the firm's attorneys develop individualized trust and estate plans intended to minimize tax burdens. The published list of services on that page is: Wills, Trusts, Estates, Probate, Business-Succession Planning, Insurance Protection Trusts, Special Needs Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Pet Care Trusts, and Community Property Trusts. The page includes general background written by the firm on who needs estate planning ("estate planning is not just for the wealthy"), on what business-succession planning is, and several explanations of Special Needs Trusts, including that such a trust is generally established for the benefit of someone who requires assistance for medical, mental or psychological conditions, and is structured so the beneficiary can receive assistance without becoming ineligible for government benefits such as SSI and Medicaid/TennCare. The site presents this as general information only, not as advice on any particular situation. The site does not publish a price, cost, flat fee or hourly rate for wills, trusts, probate or estate work, and it does not publish an estimate range. Anyone wanting a quote or wanting to book an appointment is directed to contact the office at 615-254-2291 or info@dodsonparker.com. The firm's disclaimer reads: "The information found on this website is not intended as legal advice.
